    Hi,

    I suggest that the status page be updated so that when one mouses over the name of a server, the FQDN pops up in a mini-window. This could (should?) be the same mechanism used to display the names of the admins who are logged into a server when mousing over the "Staff" number in the table.

    Thanks.

    I believe FQDN is the macronym for Fully Qualified Domain Name

    That is correct Matryoshika, though, why would you want the FQDN to be displayed on the status page?

    b/c, for example, I see the new Infinity server on the status page, and would like to check it out. However, you guys sometimes have #hostname#.minyourmind.net and sometimes #hostname#.mym.li, and unless I search for the announcement saying when that server was erected, I won't know the FQDN to be able to access it. Such a search is not always easy.

    However, if it's on the status page, where I am frequently looking anyway b/c I want to know when the servers were last down, etc, then I can just mouse over the name and voila - there's the server address. Now I can check out that server without searching through support posts, announcement posts, and the JoinUs page (where the information may not yet be updated), to learn how to connect to that new server.

    That's all. I figured it would be helpful, and allow folks seeing the server list for the first time to be able to quickly connect to a server they didn't otherwise know about.

    Anyway, just a suggestion. Even better if right clicking on the server name would add the FQDN to the clipboard, or allow you to "copy server to clipboard". Then a user could paste it into the server name field in the Minecraft Server Connection screen, and never have to type it.
